I wonder if the voter ID issue would not be as volatile if it were de-coupled from the fictitious issue of voter fraud. By linking the two in the political discussion, as has been done on numerous occasions, perhaps conservatives are not making the best case for the IDs, as that issue becomes linked with a fraudulent issue.
I wonder why Democrats bring race into the subject each and every time, other than to imply that some races are less capable than others. Meanwhile, most polls show that the idea of voter ID is supported by large measures -
I do not know, any more than you do, if voter fraud is fictitious - but find it interesting and questionable why anyone would oppose verifying a voter by the same means that a check casher, an airline passenger, a booze buyer and so many other day to day activities require.
